Earth Care article for the May issue of Westminster Ways:
From the CHPC Earth Care
Team:
Movie night: The
Earth Care Team is embarking on a new series of
presentations to help keep us informed about environmental
issues. The first movie will be on Friday, May 24 at 7:30
pm. A movie for
children will also be shown. Refreshments, fellowship, and
discussion will be provided. Please plan to join us.
KIPL membership: The
session recently approved our church as a member of Kentucky
Interfaith Power and Light (KIPL). KIPL’s motto is “making
the connection between theology and ecology”. KIPL is a
network of more than 61 religious communities in Kentuckiana
that have pledged to protect God’s creation through
education, energy conservation, and activism.
Better Space windows: The
Better Space effort is designed to renovate, remodel, and
upgrade the church’s physical plant. One aspect having
significant environmental importance is the work on our
windows. The stained glass windows in the sanctuary are
being refurbished and a second layer of glass added to make
them more air-tight. Many of the windows in the back
building have been replaced with energy efficient
double-paned windows. In addition to decreasing the amount
of utility bills, these new windows have made the rooms much
more appealing as meeting spaces.
